wilson bores me with his 14 points. god himself was content with ten and the italian prime minister shouted at wilson, go to the balkans and try an experiment with your 14 points. the point i want to make is the tension between the idealism of wanting to impose the 14 points and the reality of the limits of what the united states was capable of doing. to some people like bliss this was a straight argument for the united states not getting involved in parts of the world where it could not have any real power or influence. to others, it led to great disillusion as the united states seemed to get itself involved in all corners of the world and i didn't talk about china but i could've talked about china without having the authority to backup those ideals. william bullet who went on to become the first american ambassador to the soviet union. he was so frustrated with what the united states had done in paris that he wrote a letter to his mother right before he resigned from the american delegation in paris in which he said i
